Dr Svetlana Gretton is the Life Science Technician.
Before joining the School of Technology, Business and Arts in 2017, she obtained her PhD in Molecular Medicine at the University of Essex in the area of breast cancer research. Svetlana subsequently worked at University of Essex in post doc and research technician roles.
Within the School of Allied Health Sciences at the University of Suffolk, Svetlana oversees preparation of practical sessions, maintains cell cultures, liaises with lecturers on trouble shooting and optimising experiments. She also assists students, as required, to enhance their learning experience at the University of Suffolk.
